The HDMI standard continuously keeps on evolving, thus
pushing the High definition experience to much higher levels both at home and
on the road. This in turn has created a large untapped market for quality equipments
that will support the new technology. The young at heart , tech savvy or just
ordinary people who demand more from their native home equipments are the main
consumers of HDMI technology; The availability of large bandwidth has also
contributed greatly towards these developments. There are new very exciting
features that are enjoined with the new HDMI 2.0, they include but are not
limited to the following;

It offers backward compatibility; it is thereby compatible with
earlier versions of the HDMI specifications that most clients may already be
enjoying. HDMI 2.0 adds some key enhancements that support the continuous
improvement of consumer audio and video experience. Its connector has also
remained unchanged; this opens the HDMI 2.0 technology to a myriad of uses and
devices that were previously using other available technologies. The technology
does not define any new cabling or connector requirements to its new users.

HDMI 2.0 does significantly increase available bandwidth to
a staggering 18Gbps; this allows it to comfortably carry the 3840 x 2160
resolution video at mind boggling speeds of 60fps. This bandwidth increase does
not call for any change in cables either; the high speed Cat 2 wires can handle
the new advancements in the bandwidth comfortably without degrading quality.

HDMI 2.0 offers higher resolution by offering support for 4k @ 50/60 (2160 p) technology.
This refers to 4000 pixels wide by 2000 pixels high. The normal 1080p systems
are thus quadrupled. This covers two formats that are both supported by the
HDMI 2.0 namely 3840 p wide by 2160 p high and 4096 p wide by 2160 high. Thus high
end home theatre systems will offer the kind of quality projectors of Digital
Cinema offer; the high bandwidth requirement notwithstanding.

To provide customers with a multi-dimensional and fully immersive
audio experience, the new HDMI 2.0 offers up to 32 audio channels; these
channels offer impressive voice quality that is currently unparalleled in the market.
It can also offer an audio sample frequency of up to 1536 kHz for complete audio
fidelity client requirements. It also does support the highly popular wide
angle theatrical video aspect ratio of 21.9.

With HDMI 2.0, multiple users utilizing a single screen can
be able to get a simultaneous delivery of dual streams of video from different
sources; all these without compromising on the quality of either stream being
displayed. It can also provide simultaneous delivery of high quality multi
stream audio to a group of up to 4 members. Both the video and audio streams
can further be dynamically synchronized so as to provide that uninterrupted,
lag-free transmission of both audio and video; they have aptly named this phenomenon
as “dynamic auto lipsync”

The CEC extensions that have been implemented do
provide for
an expanded control and command of consumer electronic components and
devices
through one single control point; this makes updates, improvements and
compatibility easy and much cheaper to implement. Going by the rave
reviews that this technology has received since it's introduction and
keeping in mind the stellar performance its predecessors have achieved
over the years; HDMI 2.0 is bound to positively impact the video and
audio arena in the foreseeable future.

With all bash, people welcomed HDMI 1.0 with lots of expectations. The technology not only caught notable attention but also stayed there up to people's expectations. Now it's high time to move forward and get more from the technologies in the form of HDMI 2.0 which is expected to be there in market very soon. Interestingly it is everywhere in air that this upgraded version of HDMI is the next age of Video. As per the rumors, new features and high capability standards are most sought prospects from this HDMI version and that will definitely bring popularity of HDMI 2.0 among technology lovers from all over the world.

What is HDMI?

HDMI or High Definition Multimedia Interface is a compact interface used to transfer audio and video data from the source device to other compatible technology gadgets like computer, digital TV, digital audio and more. Being a fine replacement to analog videos, it transfers uncompressed video data and both compressed and uncompressed audio data efficiently.

How HDMI 2.0 overpowers HDMI 1.0

In many aspects HDMI 2.0 is considered superior to the earlier HDMI 1.0. HDMI 1.0 is capable to join a standard or high definition digital video signal over a single cable in the form of audio signals of two channels. It's just like connection between TV set and DVD player. The next versions included improvements in both audio & video proficiency with high resolutions. HDMI 1.0 provided connection with thoroughgoing 4.9Gbps bitrate. Even though the version 1.0 was basic with video support of up to 165 Mpixels/sec, it was adequate for many purposes. As far as the bandwidth is concerned, the version efficiently carried 1080p at 60Hz or UXGA along with 8- bit color depth. The complete format of this version is enough and absolutely compatible with all the high definition audio formats handled by PCM audio. Most of the user's requirement of bringing 8 channels of 192 kHz/24-bit PCM signal is easily fulfilled by this device.

Drawbacks of version HDMI1.0

However, this 1.0 version lacks in supporting DSD and DVD audio signals. That is because the version doesn't provide supplementary bandwidth of 10- bit, 12-bit and 16- bit color depths by Deep Color. Apart from this the new color space xvYCC is also not supported by the version.

Expected qualities of HDMI2.0

Considering the required improvements installed in coming version2.0, all are expecting great specifications and wide range of applications in audio video formats. 4K ultra HD is the significant feature because it multiplies the current resolution of 1080p by four times. This will offer various contents for approaching 4K ultra HD. For some TV programs and gaming, around 60 fps in required which is not possible for earlier versions to provide but version 2.0 is expected to fulfill this requirement. The other important feature is a rise in 8- bit color depth which is likely to be 10- or 12- bit with higher speed of as good as 60 frames per second. The equally important are HDMI 2.0 ports which are necessary to handle the transmission such a large data and signals.

The main requirement to ultra HD is compatible content, which makes the device worth and helps to get most through the technology. Till then, it is going to be a pleasure to watch 4K ultra HD with 2160p on attuned sets.

These HDMI boosters are connected at end of an HDMI cable or used to chain two HDMI cables together and create a longer HDMI extension. The work by regenerating the high definition video and digital audio it receives from the the source device & transmits it to the 2nd cable at the extended display.

HDTV Supply is one of the fist companies to announce and be able to ship immediately the 4Kx2K Ultra-High Definition Products. The HDMI 1.4 specification adds support for extremely high video resolutions that go far beyond today’s 1080p systems. 4Kx2K, 4K for short, is 4,096 lines wide by 2,160 lines high or roughly four times the resolution of a 1080p display and is double the number of lines of a typical HD picture, and more than double the number of pixels across the screen – so over four times the resolution. Our 4K x 2K products have been designed to support 4K and they have four times the signal bandwidth and memory will be needed for 3D that doesn’t require glasses, available shortly.

Why not buy products that will work today so you will be 4K ready when you upgrade?
